i was close, even with my poor readability..
i can't find a reynolds tubing dealer to do a descent calculation
but i can count 853 as a spirit oversize tubeset.
So, an improvised calculation (hobbyist prices) will be;
£350 for tubeset, small parts, welding rob etc.
£200 for paint, including anti oxidize treatment, decals, lugs masking etc.
£100 i assume about the cost of workshop (power, rent, cutters, grinders, spare tubes etc)
doesn't that means it has a £350-400 profit to cover tokyofixed commission, insurance
and be paid for a week? am i wrong?
I know it's not cheap but i can't say that it's overpriced.
after all its a unique bike very carefully handcrafted..
